the project
The proposal is to upgrade select bus stops in Atlanta by adding printed timetables. This will be done by me with help from people I will recruit. The objective is to make bus destinations more visible and thus more attractive to the public.
Stop locations I'm currently targeting include:
1. Virginia+NHighland
2. Howell Mill+Brady
3. 10+Holly
4. 10+Hemphill
5. 10+Piedmont
6. 14+Peachtree
7. 9+Peachtree
8. N Decatur+EmoryVillage
9. Ponce+NHighland
10. Around Ponce+City Market
11. Boulevard+McGill
12. Monroe+Piedmont Cir
13. Lindbergh+Cheshire Br
14. 14+Piedmont on 14
15. Centennial+Children's museum
16. Marietta St near CNN Center
17. Boulevard+Auburn
18. Euclid+Moreland
19. Moreland+NorthAve
20. Peters St @ Fair St or Haynes St
21. Fair St @ Northside Dr
the steps
- Identify 20-30 bus stops with a lot of foot traffic (2 days)
- Make and print timesheets (1 week)
- Identify and buy mounting supplies (1 day)
- Mount the timetables at the stops (3 days).
why we're doing it
Most bus stops in Atlanta don't provide the most basic information for potential users: bus routes and destinations. Some bus stops may provide a route timetable for main locations on the route, but it is still up to the user to guess the arrival time of the bus. This entire setup makes buses unattractive. This initiative addresses all of these issues, making it easier for potential users to discover MARTA. Donors may be recognized on the timesheets as well.
